Hello and Welcome to tellhendren.com, a website dedicated to the eternal truths of freedom. Nearly 2000 years ago, the Apostle John recorded a statement made by the Lord, Jesus Christ, “The Truth Shall Make You Free.” Since then this eternal truth has been repeated millions of times. The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. alone quoted this statement dozens of times. It is upon this truth that the Tell Hendren Show was created. This was also the first eternal truth the Show set out to establish in it’s very first week with the production of Truth Week, including 7 Shows all on the Importance of Truth itself. In doing so, the standard was set for all future tellhendren.com programs. It is through this statement, which is at the top of every tellhendren.com web page, that all other truths have their greatest value. Because truth possesses an inherent ability to both establish and maintain freedom. When ignored, just about anything we attempt in life does not work to its fullest potential. Whether it is freedom of nations or individuals, freedom of body or spirit, all things are made possible when life is lived in accordance to the laws of truth. And so it is for this purpose that the Tell Hendren Show was created to seek and establish the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In each and every episode, we are dedicated to establishing the truths of freedom collectively and individually, both temporally and spiritually.
Why "Eternal" truth? Because it is the truths of eternity that are the most reliable. We are after those truths which never change nor ever will; those truths which have always existed, and can always be relied upon, whether mankind discovers, believes or understands them or not. And because truth and freedom cannot be separated, it naturally follows, that if freedom is to be desired, whether as nations or individuals, than mankind must put forth every effort to uncover, understand, establish and live according to the truth.
TellHendren.com is dedicated not only to the discovery and establishment of truth, but to the spreading of it, so as to to assist and enable as many as possible to pursue and maintain freedom. We are dedicated to both discovery and availability, knowing that the more truth is understood and spread throughout the world, the more mankind is enabled to live in freedom.
THE TELL HENDREN SHOW
TellHendren.com consists of two programs. The first is the Tell Hendren Show itself which is committed to the establishment of eternal truth for the sole purpose of defending freedom. To view the Tell Hendren Show, simply click on "The Tell Hendren Show" link above and play whichever shows interest you the most.
Much of truth in regard to freedom has been forgotten and perhaps even lost, and yet much remains to be discovered. Without truth mankind will always find it difficult to maintain freedom. It is therefore the job of all who desire freedom to ensure that the truth not only survives, but that it be shared. Throughout each episode, The Tell Hendren Show presses forward as a beacon of truth. We will continue to learn and re-learn together. And we will do so by not only examining our present issues, but also by reflecting upon both the success and the mistakes of the past. The ultimate purpose of the Tell Hendren Show is to discover, establish, promote and spread the truths of freedom. These eternal truths never change. And they include all human inalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is through truth that mankind is enabled not only to pursue happiness, but more importantly, enabled to learn, grow, improve, progress and ultimately prepare for life in the eternities to come. All of which brings us to our second show:
THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION SHOW
This second show can be viewed by clicking on the “The Freedom of Religion Show” link on the menu bar near the top of each page. This is the Show I enjoy and value the most because it addresses the individual more directly, often stirring up deep questions and feelings that some of us may have never even realized we had before. Starting with the first episode, the Freedom of Religion Show begins with the most basic of religious truths and progressively dives deeper and deeper with each additional episode. For this reason it is strongly recommended to begin with the Introduction and Show #1 and then gradually work your way through each subsequent episode.
Whereas the TH Show deals more with truth in regards to collective rights and freedoms. The Freedom of Religion Show focuses more specifically
upon those rights, freedoms and truths which directly affect an individual’s spirit. This show encourages all people to strengthen, discover and rediscover their core beliefs by addressing topics and questions that help us to ensure those beliefs are the result of seeking the truth rather than our own, personal, so-called "versions of the truth." By addressing thought provoking questions, the show reminds and encourages us to seek the whole truth rather than our own personal desires which can often get in the way. This show strikes at the very soul. It strenghthens faith by encouraging a sustained and relentless effort to discover the plain truth regardless of whether that truth is easy or difficult to hear. Though difficult at times, this relentless approach to the truth results in faster learning and personal progess that may not have otherwise been possible. Oftentimes it can even result in a more fulfilling lifestyle. Approaching the truth in this manner can results in greater meaning in life, and can even result in more efficient living. The Freedom of Religion Show approaches truth in such a manner that the truth literally begins to set you free.
Another reason I enjoy this show is because it helps us to celebrate the freedom of religion by exercising it. The freedoms of speech and religion are two of the most basic rights of mankind. They are also two of the most basic rights upon which my home country, The United States of America were founded. The largest majority of early American colonists traveled across oceans in search of these rights. Some immigrants continue to flock to the United States today in search of these sacred freedoms. These rights have a rich history for which thousands upon thousands have sacrificed their lives, many of which are our literal ancestors. Such history not only deserves our honor and respect but suggests immeasurable value. It seems so simple, yet millions throughout the world today, still do not enjoy the basic right to speak and worship as they please. The truths of the eternities continue to be withheld from millions throughout the world. The Freedom of Religion Show is also dedicated to prevent such evil as much as possible through the simple spreading and defence of truth. And we will continue to do so by approaching this topic in the same manner as we would any other, with the simple purpose of trying to discover as much truth, fact and reality on the subject as possible.
To limit these freedoms is to limit the very soul of a human being and to do so is one of mankind’s greatest evils. Life to some degree, is not complete when one has no belief or hope of future beyond the grave. By very
definition, if one has no hope of anything to come, than one is left with nothing but emptiness to look forward to. To deny the freedom to speak and seek after those truths which define a person’s purpose for existence certainly lends a person more susceptible to emptiness rather than completeness. The most basic and necessary freedom of mankind is the right to speak and act freely and this must always include the right to seek for meaning in life. Without meaning, it is impossible for any human being to have a fullness of peace, hope, happiness or even a complete understanding of self worth. The Freedom of Religion Show was created to encourage all of us to seek and discover these all important eternal truths of life, and then to share them with as many as will have them. In each episode we undertake to seek and provide understanding about the eternal truths of God to all the world as best we can, given our limited abilities. What better way to accomplish these tasks than through the use of the world-wide-web.
Whether it is the truths of God or any other topic, there is always some truth which exists that is real and waiting to be discovered. What I love most about exercising our blessed right of freedom of religion to discover the truths of God is the immeasurable amounts of peace, joy and happiness it brings. However, it must be declared that this peace only comes with sustained effort. Knowledge and understanding, like anything else, does not come magically but requires effort to obtain. But as with anything in life, the less something is understood the less it is often enjoyed and in nothing is this more true than with religion and the knowledge and truths of deity. The more we are able to learn, the more we are able to reap the joy and peace that comes from the increased understanding of our true purpose.Again, nothing has brought me more joy. And nothing else has come even remotely close! I love the truths of God. And contrary to popular belief, the truths about God are abundant! In spite of popular belief and misunderstandings which have been spread by man’s natural imperfections, the truths of God are made available in great abundance to any and all who seek them! The existence of God could be proven in a court of law if we humbly sought for the truth rather than our own aggrandizements. There have been witnesses to the truths of God throughout all the ages. I’m sure you have met people who have seen angels. Many others have experienced near death experiences and returned to share the truths they have learned. At times, there have even been Prophets who have been chosen to be witnesses of God himself. There are many more such witnesses and proofs.
I look forward to sharing with you what I have learned, and I look forward to learning from you as well, as we seek together, the most important eternal truths of all; the eternal truths about God himself, the Supreme Creator, and our purpose as an integral part of that supreme creation. We will consider the history of our ancestors and what they believed. We will consider the experiences of those in the past as well as those today. We will consider scientific research and statistics. In time, after the more simple topics have been covered, we will venture further and tackle the toughest of topics, including those subjects which stifle even the most faithful. We will consider the beliefs of all religions in an effort to establish patterns throughout history. If it were possible, no stone would be left unturned. We live in a time where we have more knowledge at our fingertips than any other generation. We have the advantage of looking back through history. What an advantage to have access to the experiences of all those who have gone before us! Yet, it must still be remembered throughout our quest, that when it comes to this topic, the truth is, throughout this life, some amount of faith will always be required to some degree. Even for those who have seen and heard for themselves, it does not always seem to be enough. But the truth also is, that the more we show our faith, seeking the truth with real intent, the more is revealed and the more our knowledge and faith will continue to increase.
I look forward to the next Freedom of Religion Show. There is no other knowledge I have sought after more. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Yet, This task requires a concerted effort and there will be many times when I will have to completely rely upon your questions and insight. I encourage you to click on the "E-mail Tell" link above and to write me as often as you wish with your thoughts and ideas. Without your help this show would not be possible.
Please join me in my pursuit of eternal truth. This website is a service I provide and will continue to provide 100% free, with no obligations, donations or questions asked. I enjoy every opportunity to join with you in the pursuit of the eternal, living, truths of freedom and more especially, the truths of God, our Eternal Father in Heaven, who is hoping each one of us will prove ourselves ready and worthy of every blessing. I hope you will join me in my next Show. Thank you for taking the time to read this page, and thank you for including me in your desire to not only seek for truth, but in
your efforts to stand for truth and for all things which are right and good. Thank you and may God bless you in your efforts.
Sincerely,
